The Weißenfelsers, who opened the 27th matchday last Friday, had more time to regenerate – and that with a big surprise. The MBC prevailed in the Hakro Merlins Crailsheim, who have now safely qualified for the playoffs, with 82:77. Before the game against Crailsheim, the “Wolves” had presented a well-known new addition: Djordje Pantelic, who this season went to basketball for MBC cooperation partner BSW Sixers in the 2nd basketball league ProB, was placed in the top division by MBC head coach Silvano Poropat -Cadre appointed.

The Central Germans now have eight foreign players for six free places. Most recently, Deron Washington had to sit out, and Anthony Barber should make way for 36-year-old Serb Pantelic against Crailsheim. Michal Michalak is always set. The 27-year-old Pole is not only the best MBC point collector, but also surpasses all other players in the BBL. The Guard scores an average of 20.8 points per game with a three-way hit rate of a good 40 percent. In addition, he brings after Kyndahl Hill (5.3 rebounds per game), the second most rebounding balls (4.2). Against Crailsheim, Michalak had another creamy day, scored 31 points, hit all eleven free throws and also served his teammates (3 assists).

Like so many teams, the Veilchen Michalak did not get under control in the first leg. The Pole scored 23 points, but was not the only MBC player who hurt the Moors team in the 85:93 defeat: development player Roko Rogic scored 20 points, followed by Shavon Coleman (19), who had since left. On average, builder Rogic scores 10.8 points per game, ahead of him are US guard Quinton Hooker (12.8) and Serbian center Aleksandar Marelja (12.7), who was absent in the first leg due to an injury. Hooker is the best assists on his team (5.2 assists per game).

In order to have a chance to win on Tuesday, the Göttingen team have to get a grip on the individual strengths of the Weißenfels team better than in the first leg and act just as intensely in defense as in the home game against Würzburg. Moors certified his players “a good job” in the game against the Franks. “They showed a lot of energy and activity.” Compared to the defeat in the first leg in December, a different team is now on the field. “We took steps forward, but I didn’t think that a game like the one against Gießen would happen to us again,” said the sting after the defeat against the relegation-threatened Hessen.

Only Deishuan Booker came out of the Würzburg game with slight problems with his ankle, all other players are fit for the task at third from bottom of the table. “The MBC played a very good game against Crailsheim and will certainly be motivated accordingly against us,” said Moors, who did not plan that his team would concentrate exclusively on top scorer Michalak. “The MBC mustn’t make too many simple points. We have to be careful on the defensive because he plays very quickly in the transition. They also have some creative guards like Hooker and Rogic who also score very well. “

The training on Monday morning was an easy one for regeneration. An early arrival the day before was waived, the team bus does not set out on the almost 200-kilometer route over the A38 to Weißenfels until Tuesday.
